Once outside, the gang grabs the car and drives off in the Arizona landscape. An immediate police record is sent out, warning the citizens that the men are armed and dangerous. Donny laughs off the situation, not believing that any of the fugitives could do anyone harm. Things changes, however, when one night Gary decides to change cars to keep away the cops. He holds up a car, and forces the people inside to step out. The driver John Lyons Arliss Howard, his wife Dannelda Amanda Wyss, their young niece Teresa Susan Swift and young baby son are terrified of Gary, even though Donny tries to calm them down by promising they will not harm them. Despite promises of Gary that he will not call the cops, Gary fears that the man will betray him and decides to kill him and his family. Realizing that his sons will not allow him, he sends them away to get water for the couple, and then shoots all four of them. The sons are shocked and appalled, and realize their father may not be as innocent and loving as they thought.The next morning, while in a gas station shop, Ray tells Donny that they could step to the police, since they were not involved with the murders. Donny, however, silences him and explains that Gary will never let them go away. They go back to their father and go into hiding with a female friend of Randy. The gas station shop owner, meanwhile, has recognized the gang from the paper, and warns the police. They have already fled, though, when they arrive to arrest them, and leave the spot with a newly bought car, heading out to Mexico. ........
